Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hillsboro, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hillsboro provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
